Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Market Correction & Sentiment Overview

• Bitcoin Price Drop:

  • At recording, BTC is down 3% on the day, actively testing $86,000 support.
  • Local bottom identified at ~$80,000, with downside targets including $77k and a macro analyst warning of a fall to $40k.
  • Broader crypto market cap just above $3 trillion, Bitcoin dominance eroding.

• Fear Index & Technicals:

  • Crypto Fear & Greed Index at 16 (extreme fear), down from 21 yesterday, 20 last week, and 10 last month.
  • Technical chart breakdown:
    • “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ouch” – seven consecutive red hourly candles.
    • Daily, weekly, and monthly charts all show declining momentum, “Bitcoin’s wearing a pair of cement shoes trying to swim in the Hudson River. It’s rough, but here we are.” (JV, 06:24)

2. Macro Bearishness & Analyst Debates

• Luke Gromen’s Bearish Turn:

  • Predicts potential drop to $40k by 2026, citing macro shifts, broken technicals, and quantum risk.
  • Prompt response from Max Keiser:
    • “This guy, is he sleeping with Peter Schiff? Quite hilarious, right?” (JV, 07:30)

• Quantum Computing Risk Discussion:

  • JV downplays short-term quantum risk: “Some of the experts and OGs I respect like Adam Back say that’s another 10-plus years out… bitcoin developers will be a step ahead of the curb… not a concern of mine.” (JV, 09:34)
  • Consensus among OGs (e.g., Adam Back, James Check): plenty of runway before realistic threat; community will migrate to quantum-resistant addresses when required.
  • Market threat is psychological: sudden Satoshi coin movement could cause volatility, but true quantum-breaking hardware is decades off.

3. Bhutan’s Green Bitcoin & Digital Asset Push

• State-Level Innovation:
  • Bhutan signs long-term partnership with Cumberland DRW to build green, sustainable digital asset infrastructure in the “Mindfulness City.”
  • Aims to integrate bitcoin into reserves, develop national stablecoin linked to gold, and position country as a policy innovator.
  • Bhutan leverages surplus hydropower for bitcoin mining—one of the earliest national sovereign miners.
  • “Taken all this together, Bhutan’s initiatives position the country as a very rare example of a state treating Bitcoin, stablecoins, and blockchain infrastructure as long-term economic tools rather than speculative experiments.” (JV, 13:55)

4. Mainstream Stablecoin Adoption

• Visa’s New Stablecoin Advisory Team:

  • Visa launches “Global Stablecoin Advisory Practice” – directly consults banks and fintechs on stablecoin integration and strategy.
  • Over 130 stablecoin-linked card programs in 40+ countries; billions in annualized USDC flows through Visa systems.
  • “The rise of onchain dollars is starting to eat into narratives that once belonged to the bitty.” (JV, 16:16)
  • Shift in payment industry: Stripe, PayPal, and banks increasingly adopt stablecoins for settlements, creator payouts, and global remittances.
  • Clarity on competitive landscape for Bitcoin:
    • Even Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood revised her 2030 BTC target down (from $1.5M to $1.2M) citing stablecoins overtaking some use cases.

• Stablecoins vs. CBDCs:

  • Skepticism toward new “country stablecoins” as disguised Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)—“just CBDCs with another name.”

5. Quantum Hacking Debate: Satoshi’s Stash

• Bitcoin OGs Stand Ready:
  • Speculation around quantum hack dumping Satoshi’s coins; consensus: OGs will buy any massive dip.
  • Notable: Adam Back has public standing orders to scoop up flash-crashed coins if ever dumped.
  • “There is plenty of time to adopt post-quantum cryptography standards…” (ref. Adam Back, 21:30)
  • James Check argues migration to quantum-resistant addresses will happen before any critical threat emerges.
  • “The quantum threat poses more of a threat to the bitcoin market price than to the underlying tech in the near term.” (JV, paraphrased, 22:20)

6. Strategy (Formerly MicroStrategy) Tops $50 Billion in Bitcoin Purchases

• Michael Saylor’s Latest Move:
  • Strategy announces acquisition of 10,645 BTC for $980 million at $92,000/BTC.
  • Running total: 671,268 BTC acquired for $50.33 billion at an average of $74,972/BTC (as of Dec 14, 2025).
  • JV’s context: “They went from a $500 million market cap to $50 billion since adopting bitcoin in five years. Bitcoin saved his company because hoarding fiat was a melting ice cube.” (JV, 24:20)
  • MSTR stock heavily correlated to BTC price; down 41% YTD, reflecting poor Q4 in crypto, but long view still bullish.

7. $6 Million Bitcoin Supercycle: How Much Do You Need to Retire?

• Retirement Math By Country:
  • New study:
    • High-income countries: 1–5 BTC needed to retire by 2035, depending on life expectancy and local costs.
    • US/UK: Generally 0.5–1 BTC; Canada closer to 0.3.
    • Lower-cost countries (e.g. South Sudan, Cameroon): 0.01–0.05 BTC might be enough.
    • JV: “It’s a great goal to become a whole coiner, fam. …There’s probably less than 250,000 individuals who are even whole coiners in the world. It may even be less than 100,000—just to show you how fucking rare.” (JV, 27:51)
• Supercycle Price Models:
  • Valuation thesis: “2x/60x rule”—each doubling of Bitcoin’s lifespan ≈ 60x price growth.
  • If pattern holds, BTC > $6.7M in 15 years (~2040); some analysts consider this even bearish.
  • Saylor bullish: sees 30% annual growth for 20 years, $21M per BTC not out of reach.

Welcome Bitcoin fam to the number one Bitcoin pod. Bitcoin correcting. Right now we're testing 86,000. The local bottom is 80,000. Will she hold up? We'll be breaking this down for you in today's show. We'll also be discussing Bhutan. The kingdom deepens their green bitcoin strategy with Cumberland backed infrastructure. Also Visa Crate Stablecoin advisory team as onchain dollars go mainstream. Also the Bitcoin OGs such as Willy Woo says the OGs are going to buy Satoshi Stash if a quantum hack did occur. Also strategies bitcoin spending tops a whopping 50 billion after the fresh 10,645 BTC purchase. That's right. Sailor just announced another billion dollar acquisition of the BTC. Also we'll be discussing a $6 million Bitcoin super cycle. And how much bitcoin will you need to retire. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market. All this plus so much more right here in today's show. Today is POT episode 2195. I'm your host JV alongside the Fed chair Nipinator. Keeping them nipinating. Let's kick it off with our market watch. We are correcting big time right now. Down over 3% on the day. Pretty low Bitty looks like it's about to test 86000 as support Ethereum back under 3000 and not much markets overall as you can see on your screen. Checking out coinmarketcap.com Current crypto market cap is 3.05 trillion. Barely above the 3 trillion mark at the moment, the bitcoin market cap on the decline $1.722 trillion. Let's see what some of the top gainers are on the day. There's only a handful. One of them is beat. Never heard of this one. It only, oh, it actually has a half a billion dollar market cap but it is up 88 on the day. We also have Myx Finance and then very modest gains as the bulk of the market is correcting. And in the red, checking out the crypto greed and fear index today is a 16. Extreme fear. The bottom that we hit a few weeks back when we bottomed out on the crash, it was a 10. Well we go lower, you got to let me know. Yesterday was a 21, last week at 20 and last. There you go. Last month at 10 in extreme fear. Checking out the infamous time chain Calendar today block height 927, 996. But who's counting besides JV and the nibinator? Well, he's the Fed chair, that's what he does. You know how many stats per dollar as of today, December 15, 1159. So you know precisely what to do. You pick up the sas, put down the gats and pick up some bitcoin caps from my man Sergio over@bitcoin caps.net Also I want to give a shout out to Zero Tax Bitcoin.com Today's episode is brought to you by Zero Tax Bitcoin.com Learn how to use OPM to buy crypto at 0% interest and pay zero taxes on your gains. To learn how to do this, visit the website, check it out and take advantage of it. Many people don't know you can establish business credit to ultimately borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars. And it's not even dependent upon your Social Security because you create what's called an ein Employer identification number with the corporation. And this goes for folks who already have a corporation or if you don't have one, learn how to set it up, tap into it and stack some bitties. So again, head on over to zero tax bitcoin.com and let's stack these bitties, shall we? Remember Bitty land? No, Diddy Land. Let's now dive into the charts. I'll do a little live chart action. Jackson Satisfaction, Bo Jackson, Tony Braxton. Today dedicated to the baddies. Here's a one hour chart. Unfortunately all bear scenarios. You can see how many cascading red candles we've had consecutively here this morning. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ouch we have a few bear targets in sight. One at 83. We're not too far away from now, 3,000 away. We have one at 80,000. And then obviously if that didn't hold up, we dropped to 77 GS as per the 1 hour. Checking out the 4 hour, 4 hour chart. Overall we have a channel ascending, but it's been sideways, it's barely ascending. And also note we're dropping in real time. You could see two mega bear candles here on the screen. And again, three bear scenarios very similar to the one hour chart, so I'm not going to repeat that. But checking out the daily to get any better? No, we're currently below those major moving averages. You'll notice 1, 2, 3, 4 consecutive red candles on the daily. So we are definitely exercising, going lower and lower. How low will she go? Let me know. Checking out the weekly. Does it get any better? Not really. We do have a rising wedge and they say when in doubt, just zoom out, look at the bigger picture. But in the short term we are definitely descending and going downwards and we're struggling to maintain. We did like recapture the 94 mid 90 range, as high as 95, but unfortunately the bears prevailed and drug us back down to where we're at. It's like Bitcoin's wearing a pair of cement shoes trying to swim in the Hudson River. It's rough, but here we are checking out the monthly. We're midway through the year, we have Christmas looming and holidays around the corner. As you can see on the monthly we are in the red for the new month. This has been the most disappointing fourth quarter in history for a year preceding the having typically we would see 70 gains, but now we have like 40 losses from the top of the firmament. We hit October 6, that was 1263 and we bottomed out at 80 and looks like we're going to be retesting here soon. We'll see how we prevail. But checking out some analysts who is extremely bearish here. Luke Grohman, he turns bearish, suggesting we could hit 40,000. Max Kaiser, the high priest, responded. This guy, is he sleeping with Peter Schiff? Quite hilarious, right? Let's dive a little deeper into why he believes, you know, we're gonna see this bearish momentum. Luke Gromen, the global macro analyst, turned near term bearish on the biddy, saying that a drop to 40 range possible 2026, arguing the number one crypto looks vulnerable to the macro conditions and investor narrative shift. And a recent appearance of the risk reversal pod. He stuck largely to the the basement trade thesis for fiat currencies and hard assets, but said that gold and certain equities were doing a better job than Bitcoin of expressing that view, adding basically everything but gold and the dollar are likely to get waylaid. Now that's an interesting word. I'm not familiar with the waylaid, but I know what it means to get laid. The debasement trade thesis is a bet that the governments will quietly reduce the real value of their debts through the inflation and currency weakening. So investors shift out of the fiat into the scarce or real assets like gold, commodities and Bitcoin, which are expected to better hold their purchasing power over the long time. Yeah, I mean bitcoin's only up 250 million percent in the past 16 years. Just saying. Groman points to the Bitcoin failure to reach new highs versus gold, a break of the key moving averages, which again we're currently below, and the growing chatter about the quantum risk as signs that the risk reward has worsened in the near term. I disagree with this thesis, but I definitely understand where he's coming from for the long time. Followers this marked or yeah, a change in tone. Groman spent the past few years lumping bitty with gold as part of the debasement trade and the broader bet on the fiscal dominance, rising debt to GDP ratios and the need to inflate AI.

See mint mobile.com Away the real liabilities, macro jitters and quantum fears. Personally I'm not so concerned on the quantum fears. I know that's real, but I know we're far aways from that happening. Some of the experts and OGs I respect the most, such as say Adam Back says that's another 10 plus years out and naturally the bitcoin developers are going to be a step ahead of the curb and you'll be able to just do whatever you got to do to move your bitcoin to a quantum protected wallet. You know, if the quantum computing does catch up, you know, so we'll, we'll see. But let me know if that's a concern of yours. Definitely not a concern of mine. But anyways, Bitcoin Focus Analysts are far from convinced by Groman's name near term bear case dismissing his reasons is not well thought out arguing citing broken moving average and lagging performance versus gold is a classic way to sell into weakness rather than identify a top. Let me know if you agree with the analysts or disagree. I tend to disagree. I don't see us dropping a 40 but I can see if 80 doesn't hold up which is the current local low. I mean naturally we'll drop lower Maybe in the 70s, but maybe 80 does hold up. Remember, there's just no telling with the constipated Janet Yellen and reminder Max responded to this guy saying this guy sleeping with Peter Schiff. And that was off the back of the news. Luke Roman says to reduce his bitcoin portfolio substantially at 95 and thinks it's going a lot lower. Risk of quantum computing plus not making new highs versus gold. And more recently in the news I shared the other day on the pod, we also had a rich dad, Robert Kiyosaki basically saying the same thing. He's expecting a massive catastrophe in the financial markets over the next, you know, three, four months. That is going to wipe a lot of things lower. And he just sold like a two million dollar stash. Which is not all his bitcoin by the way, but apparently he's getting into the. What is it called, the billboard advertising business to create some cash flow. At least that's what he said in the post alongside some other business venture. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution is being live streamed right here. So let's continue, shall we? Next headline fam the Kingdom of Bhutan deepens their green Bitcoin strategy with Cumberland backed infrastructure. That's right. Bhutan signed a multi year memorandum of understanding with crypto market maker Cumberland DRW to collaborate on building digital asset infrastructure in Galafu Mindfulness City. What an interesting name per city deepening the country's long term sustainability Focus Crypto strategy in the announcement, the Special Administrative Region said the partnership aims to support the Bhutan vision of developing a modern digital economy that aligns with its environmental and governance values. Now. Meanwhile, the border Director said the collaboration includes Cumberland supporting their Bitcoin reserve management, establishing a presence in the GMC and hiring local talent. The market maker will also deploy subject matter experts to develop the local workforce. The GMC is a Special Administrative Region of Bhutan designed to attract global talent while integrating the tech, sustainability and mindful development. You can see the announcement right here on X Bhutan and Cumberland DRWS signing a multi year MOU to build a responsible digital asset ecosystem guided by the vision of His Majesty King Jim Wangchuck. What a cool name. The partnership focuses on sustainable digital asset infrastructure, national stablecoin development and talent building. If you're seeking talent, look no further than the nipinator keeping them nip. I mean he's has the only bitcoin indicator with 100% accuracy. Kingdom of Bhutan. Just saying. But anyways, Cumberland, the digital asset arm of the Chicago based trading firm drw, is one of the biggest institutional liquidity providers of the market. The company has been active in the space since 2014 and Service Global institutions across spot as well as derivative markets. Also, Bhutan dives deeper into the digital asset ecosystem. As you know, they're one of the larger holders of Bitcoin. I believe it was right after Bitcoin country in El Salvador that they adopted their Bitcoin Bhutan, one of the earliest sovereign Bitcoin miners using surplus hydropower to accumulate a national Bitcoin reserve through renewable energy. Bhutan also integrated digital assets into the GMC strategic reserves, enabling crypto based payments across tourism and merchant services and even launched the TER sovereign backed digital token linked to physical gold. Taken all this together, Bhutan's initiatives position the country as a very rare example of a state treating Bitcoin, stablecoins and blockchain infrastructure as long term economic tools rather than speculative experiments. So ultimately they're all in. Bitty famous next story this headline reads Visa creates stablecoin Advisory Team as the on Chain Dollars Go Mainstream that's right, Visa launched the Global stablecoin Advisory Practice, a unit that will help the banks, merchants and fintechs design, rollout and manage stablecoin products, the payment giant said Monday. The new advisory arm will focus on practical questions that the traditional players struggle with and will offer stablecoin training and market trend programs. Go to market planning and tech enablement for stablecoin integration. Quoting them here, Stablecoins may represent an opportunity to enhance speed and Lower costs and payments. So with the support of Visa, we're evaluating how this tech could fit into our broader strategy deliver meaningful value to over 15 million members worldwide. Now the move indicates that the on chain dollars are now significantly enough to warrant their own dedicated business line within one of the world's largest payment networks. And it's not a greenfield bet. With the stablecoin advisory practice, Visa is wrapping a consultancy around infrastructure it has been building out quietly for several years, including more than 130 stablecoin linked card programs across 40 plus countries and billions of dollars in annualized USDC which is circles stablecoin. And here's the outline right here showing you Visa launch the global stablecoin advisory practice. That's a done deal. And this was dated December 15th, so that's today's date, brother. Now the timing aligns with the broader shift and how the mainstream companies approach crypto stable coins rather than volatile assets like Bitcoin. It's almost like bitcoin has been a stable coin this cycle, right? It's been stuck in the 80s becoming a default method for using blockchain payments. Stripe rolled out the payment payouts for the accounts, pitching them as faster, cheaper options for global creators and platforms. Also we have PayPal pushing their PayPal USD dollar token, which is their stable coin, deep into their own ecosystem. Including YouTube creator payouts now being introduced to the US and JP Morgan coin continues to expand as an institutional settlement rail. All I know is this. It's blasphemous the whole JPM coin. I'm just saying, I'm just speaking the truth. That rise of the onchain dollars is starting to eat into narratives that once belonged to the bitty. In November, Ark Invest CEO Ms. Wood, always up to no good, trimmed her 2030 Bitcoin price target for 1.5 milli to 1.2, explicitly citing the stable coins taken over some of the functions she once expected bitcoin to fulfill in payments as well as in emerging markets. The chains don't kill her long term digital goal thesis for the Bitty, but it does acknowledge that in practice the asset below people want to spend or use to escape the matrix. And they shall. Visa's new stablecoin advisory business underlines this Peter Shift. Household name processors are now coaching the banks and the FinTechs on the stablecoin strategy, which means they're betting that the stable coins will dominate the transactional money use case. And we are seeing more and more stablecoin adoption. I mean just look at what tether was able to accomplish with usdt. You know, obviously being the first ones to do it. They're crushing it.

And so many other people want to tap into that market and we're seeing that left and right as everyone's embracing stables. I mean, Trump has his own stable coin on his DeFi platform for WLFI. You know, ripples doing what they're doing with their stable coin. Countries are introducing stable coins, which are basically in disguise and they're truly just CBDCs with another name, Central bank digital currencies. So you got to be careful personally. Just stick with the bitty. Remember Bitty Land? No Diddy. But anyways, next story of the day headline reads Willy Woo says the Bitcoin OGs will buy the satoshi stash if the quantum hack does occur. In fact I know Adam Back. I think he had some form of buy order on an exchange where if it dropped to a certain level he'd buy up all the bits coin. I mean who wouldn't want to do that? I'm just saying. But anyways, a debate broke out on social media on Satsack and Saturday about the potential effects of a quantum computing hacking Satoshi's bitcoin stash and dumping those coins onto the market. The debate began when YouTuber Josh Alton shared a price chart a bitcoin crash into $3. Oh no. And said this could happen in a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. Emerging and steel synonymous. Bitcoin creator Satoshi's 1 million bitcoin and sells them. He says many OGs would buy the flash crash, the bitcoin network would survive and most coins are not immediately vulnerable and 100% there's already OGs lined up to buy it. And like I said, Adam Back has actually shared his proof of work on that he showed his buy order if it did drop to a certain level he just scoop up all the bitcoin. However, there are 4 million Bitcoin held and pay to public key addresses including satoshi coins which show the full public key on chain when the coins are spent making them vulnerable to quantum attacks. According to Woo, exposing a bitcoin wallets full public key on chain exposes these wallets to quantum attacks in the future because a sufficiently powerful quantum computer can theoretically derive the private key from the public key. But this is in the future. Newer types of bitcoin wallet addresses are not as vulnerable to quantum attacks because they do not expose the full public keys on chain and if a public key is not known then a quantum computer cannot generate the paired private key from that data. So it's best to keep your addresses private and off chain if possible. Fam and as you can see, here's Satoshi's holdings right here which is phenomenal. What does that show? $97 billion if I'm reading that here correctly. Correct? 97.12 billion to be exact. Now Adam back and this is what I was referencing earlier early bitcoin OG cipher punk, co founder of the bitcoin tech company Block Streams that bitcoin will not face quantum threat for the next 20 to 40 years. So what's up with all the short term panic yo Back argued there's a plenty of time to adopt the post quantum cryptography standard which already exists before a quantum computer powerful enough to crack the modern encryption and cyber security standards is built. And then we have an analyst, James Check, said quantum computing does not threaten the bitcoin tech because users will migrate to quantum resistant addresses by the time a viable quantum computer emerges. Exactly. You can send your, you know, bitcoin to another wallet that's protected within seconds. So is it really that much of a concern? You know, think about it. The quantum threat poses more of a threat to the bitcoin market price because there is no chance the bitcoin community will agree to free Satoshi's coins before a quantum computer hacks his wallets and puts the coins back into circulation. And there you go. Yo, let me know your thoughts again. Do you guys fear these quantum computing hacks of the future? Short term, long term. Holl at your boy. And next up we'll be discussing Strategy made another billion dollar bitcoin purchase. As we anticipated. He did post the Sailor tracker. And we said, you guys asked me yesterday, how big do you think the buy will be? I said about a billion. And lo and behold, a billion. Boom shaka laka. And at 16,000, you know, all of us were ready to write it to fucking zero. And I'll continue with the next story, which leads us right into Michael Saylor strategies. Bitcoin spending tops 50 billion after the fresh 10,645 bitcoin purchase announcement shared today on X by the Gigachad. Here's the proof of work. Sailor Posted. Strategy has acquired 10,645 BTC for 980 million at $92,000 Bitcoin achieving a Bitcoin yield of 25% year to date. 2025 as of December 14th. We huddle. 671,268 BTC acquired for 50.33 billion at 74, 972 dollars per Bitcoin. So yeah, another massive acquisition here over five years after it started purchasing bitcoin en masse, which it all originated back in 2020. Saylor's business intelligence software company Strategy has now spent than more, more than 50 billion collectively on his bitcoin reserve strategy. You want to know what's insane? At the time they adopted Bitcoin in 2020, their total market cap was like it was around a half a billion. I forgot if it was 400 million or 600 million. So let's just say it was 500 million. So that means that they went from a 500 million market cap to 50 billion since adopting Bitcoin in five years. So Bitcoin saved his company because he described, you know, hoarding fiat as a melting ice cube. And that was his big concern and you know, problem solved, we got the biddy. The latest purchase was announced on which I just shared on X. Consequently, the company total stash has now soared to 671,000 which was accumulated for over 50 billion despite the crypto's correction. And what is their market cap today? Actually it might even be north of 100 billion because I just quoted how much they spent on bitcoin. Right. So obviously the bitcoin strategy has been paying off and with plus dividends for the Sailor man. Now, in contrast to its consistently growing stash strategy, stock prices do paint a different picture. MSTR has been on a substantial downfall since July this year, dropping from over 450 per share at this time to $176 on Friday's close. MSTR is deep in the red on a year to date scale as well, losing more than 41% of the total value since January 1st. And it's on track to close its worst performing year since adopting the Bitcoin reserve strategy. Do you think Sailor stock will likely recover from all of this? Naturally there's a correlation when Bitcoin's not performing so well with their stock price. I like to believe if Bitcoin wasn't in a disaster Q4 where we're dropping significantly, his stock would be doing just fine. But his stock is dependent upon bitcoin. They're the largest bitcoin holder in the world, publicly traded. The only company that has more Bitcoin than sailor strategy is BlackRock. But that's an ETF product, an exchange traded fund, you know what I mean? Now for our feature story of the day, a bitcoin analyst predicting 6 million per coin in 15 years. How much bitcoin realistically would you need to retire? Well, let's break her down. The amount of the bitcoin required to retire by 2035, which 10 years away very sharply by the country, with most of the world needing less than one coin. That's why it's such a great goal to become a whole coiner, fam. You know there's less than 1 million Bitcoin addresses in the world that actually even have one coin. Which tells me there's probably, if I was to speculate, less than 250,000 individuals who are considered whole coiners in today's world. It may even be less than 100,000 just to show you how fucking rare.

Now it comes to Bitcoin's future value continuing to be the subject of the fierce debate, with the recent prediction going as high as 6 million for the nearest future. So how much Bitcoin is needed to retire per country? The study conducted by independent researcher Sminston with suggests the residents of high income jurisdictions would typically need between 1 and 5 bitcoins. Really depending upon the age. Younger people in countries including Ireland, Bermuda, Norway, Luxembourg face the higher requirements due to the longer expected retirement periods. And here's the chart right here breaking down all the countries from Monaco to Afghanistan, Bitcoin needed to retire in 2035. Now by contrast, the research reveals substantially lower thresholds in countries obviously with the lower living costs, such as South Sudan and Cameroon. And that's over in Africa, yo. In these countries retirement could be funded with as little as 0.01 to 0.05 bitcoin. For some age groups, I repeat, and some of these impoverished countries one could retire with 0.01 to 0.05 Bitcoin. For certain age groups in the US and the UK, the estimated requirement for most age brackets range from 0.5 Bitcoin a half a biddy to a whole bitty, while Canada's projections are even closer to 0.3 BTC. So now let's discuss Bitcoin at 6 million how these numbers jive. Independent researcher provided a bullish estimate for the bitcoin using the so called 2x slash 60x rule which links the assets age to the historical price growth. Under that model, each doubling of the bitcoin lifespan has been associated with a roughly 60 fold increase of the price action. Bitcoin's currently about 6200 days old or just under 17 years. As Gary Krug shares here Lovely work. If the asset keeps monetizing, the global adoption keeps a compound. And the real surprise in 15 years won't be a multi million dollar bitcoin. The real surprise will be how obvious it looks in hindsight. So applying that same framework, the research projected that when an asset reaches roughly 34 years old, the price could exceed 6.7 million. Personally I think that's extremely bearish, but it's inevitable. Let me know your thoughts. This guy, the head of the bitcoin strategy over at this company Afino, said that the real surprise 15 years won't be the multi million dollar bitcoin. The real surprise would be how obvious it looks in hindsight. Now some of you can see into the future and you recognize that now and it could be, you know, very obvious. There's other analysts, you know, suggesting Bitcoin hitting 17 million in the next 20 years. In fact, Sailor recently speaking at the Abu Dhabi event claimed bitcoin would increase about 30% a year over the next 20 years. So yeah, 21 million per Bitcoin. Send it. It's two one, bro. And there you have it. Yo. Welcome everyone to the Q A segment of the live stream. I'll stick around for just a few minutes and then I have the honor of picking up my daughter from school. And again I greatly appreciate everyone tuned into the live. Serge says 0.1 Bitcoin I know isn't a while. Here's the thing, the longer you hold, the less amount of bitcoin will be required for retirement. You know, if you hold whatever bitcoin you have now for the next 30 years, maybe it's true. Maybe in the US you can retire for 0.1 Bitcoin or less. You know, again there's no telling what the comps pay. Gen yellow. But short term, you know, we all have our different numbers in our head. We all have different requirements to retire I would imagine, you know, and it's going to be different for everyone. Like Michael Saylor needs 100 mil, you know, not 100 million. Saylor needs like 100,000 bitcoins for retirement. That's Michael Saylor. You know, maybe you only need 10, you know, teach their own. We all have different desires in life. You know, sailors trying to establish the world's largest bitcoin bank. And I think he'll do it. Currently has 670, 000 of the bitties. You know, there's the nipinator. He's digging, he's doing a little diggy.
